Answer:

b. Mitochondrial respiration

Explanation:

Mitochondrial respiration of plants involves the participation of two major electron transport routes:

1. Cytochrome c oxidase route: cyanide sensitive and coupled to three energy conservation sites.

2. Cyanide-insensitive alternative route: involves alternative oxidase (AOX), branches off the cytochrome oxidase route into the ubiquinone pool, with no energy conservation thereafter as AOX is able to directly oxidize ubiquinol and reduce oxygen to water.

Regardless of the route followed, mitochondrial breathing is a long and complex process. However, it is through this breath that at a given moment electrons are passed to oxygen through a carrier channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane.  This happens when cytochromes to and some molecules that have a heme group (with an iron atom) and are linked to a transmembrane protein that connects the matrix to the mitochondrial intermembrane space and have two copper atoms that allow the transport of electrons to the final acceptor, oxygen (O2).

Products of glycolysis include:
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: c. 2 pyruvate molecules

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step it the cell respiration cycle. It turns one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate by a series of reactions catalyzed by different enzymes.

It starts by using 2 ATP to turn glucose into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which then divides in two and releases 4 ATP when it turns into two pyruvate molecules.

Thus glycolysis consumes 2 ATP and releases 4 ATP (giving a net gain of 2 ATP) and 2 pyruvate molecules.

How can an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ace inhibitor) such as captopril be effective as an antihypertensive? how ca
cluponka [151]

Angiotensin-converting –enzymes inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) is a drug commonly used for the treatment of congestive heart failure and hypertension. It can also be used to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension. ACE inhibitors act by reducing the activity of the renin –angiotensin-aldosterone system which is the primary causal in the development of hypertension in people with diabetes mellitus.

What is the diffention of Oceanic - Oceanic Boundary
ruslelena [56]

At an ocean-ocean convergent boundary, one of the plates (oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle) is pushed, or subducted, under the other (Figure 4.6. 1). Often it is the older and colder plate that is denser and subducts beneath the younger and warmer plate.Sep 17, 2019

The oceanic plate subducts into a trench, resulting in earthquakes. Melting of mantle material creates volcanoes at the subduction zone. If the magma is too viscous to rise to the surface it will become stuck in the crust to create intrusive igneous rocks
